What is a tiny home?

There are different ideas of what a tiny home is, but it's typically a dwelling designed to save space that falls between 100 and 400 square feet.

According to the 2018 International Residential Code, a tiny home is a dwelling unit with 400 square feet of floor space or less, not including lofts.

What to do if you're moving your tiny house

In order to protect your property and belongings while you're on the road, some companies offer a transit endorsement option that extends coverage to your tiny house while you're moving between locations. Progressive offers Trip Collision coverage for a specific 30-day period while you're moving your home. Trip collision coverage protects the structure of the property only, up to your policy's limits, and not the contents inside.

Where is the largest tiny home community?

America's largest tiny home community is now in Highland Park, California, and the new neighborhood will be housing people in need.

America’s largest tiny home community is now in Highland Park, California, and the new neighborhood will be housing people in need. Two hundred twenty-four people who previously didn’t have a place to sleep will soon move into their own tiny spaces. Outreach teams went into the community to sign up un-housed people for the November 2 move-in day. “It’s your un-housed neighbors that will be living here," Rowan Vansleve from the Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission said. “It’s better here. Getting treatment, getting care, getting services, than in your backyard.” And although it’s a good idea, some feel that the tiny homes are in bad locations and these communities that transition people out of homelessness have not been welcomed everywhere. Citizens in Reseda, California, marched to an L.A. city councilman’s home to protest after 50 tiny houses were built in their neighborhood. But Rosie Martinez, who lives just yards away from the new tiny home village, told KCBS she sees the positive side for the residents. “This is going to help them get a job,” she explained. “Help them get permanent housing, healthcare, or if they need anything else positive for them. That’s the place to be for them.” The tiny homes measure 8 feet by 8 feet and have heating, cooling, and electricity. Each tiny home reportedly cost the city about $8,000, including set-up and delivery.
